I think she is a barquentine, which should narrow it a little - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barquentine

Looks like Waterwitch/Lancashire Witch but funnel appears to be missing - should be behind centre mast.

Ted There is a short funnel there - see large size. Another photo of the WATERWITCH for comparison - www.awm.gov.au/collection/302285/ I think this photo may be in April 1895 when the WATERWITCH first arrived in Sydney, and "attracted much attention" in Farm Cove - " ... by far the prettiest vessel on the Australian station. ...

A barquentine or schooner barque (alternatively "barkentine" or "schooner bark") is a sailing vessel with three or more masts; with a square rigged foremast and fore-and-aft rigged main, mizzen and any other masts. The term "barquentine" is seventeenth century in origin, formed from "barque" in imitation of "brigantine", a two-masted vessel square-rigged only on the forward mast, and apparently formed from the word brig.
